Families who are struggling to meet the financial demands of day-to-day life question how they might provide a gift or two for their children on Christmas Day. Every child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas morning. And thanks to supporters of The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, thousands of children will find this waiting under their Christmas trees this year.

The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program provides toys for children of families in need through the support of donors. Found in local companies and corporations, Angel Trees are decorated with numbered paper angel tags with the age and gender of a child in need of presents. Contributors remove one or more tags from the tree and purchase appropriate gifts for a child or children described on the tags. The donated gifts are displayed at Toy Town and parents are empowered to select gifts that will bring their child joy for the holidays. Please consider hosting a Teen Angel Tree. One of the greatest needs in our city is to provide toys to teens in our community.

Angel Tree tag distribution begins on November 1st and the toys will be collected on Dec. 4ththrough Dec. 8th. We ask that the toys are new and unwrapped. Toys can be delivered to our Toy Town location — 1225 South Florissant Road, St Louis, MO 63121 or you can schedule to have the toys picked up at your office on Dec 4th through Dec 8th.
